I just picked up a new 2018 Hummingbird 17 FD yesterday and I have a few questions:

1) Any suggestions as to where I should buy a spare tire (14") and the bracket that attaches to the rear bumper.

2) Did anyone add curtains (for privacy) to the Dinette area and/or the
Bedroom?
The service tech at the dealer said I could put 3/4" screws through the strips
in the ceiling to support a "curtain rod"

Any input would be appreciated as I am "Greenhorn"

Congratulations on the new Hummingbird and welcome to the forum.
We were all "Greenhorns" at some point.

Call Jayco with your VIN# and request schematics for the roof etc.
Personally, Discount Tire has been great to me.
Did you ask the dealer do something for a spare for you?
Most travel trailer bumpers are very weak. Maybe you'll hear from a Hummingbird owner and see what they did.

See. That wasn't so bad.
Keep asking questions so you can learn from OUR mistakes.
